Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

[lympero]

I was watching this video (

) where Steve jobs introduced the G4 cube. (After 1.20.00)
You could literally fell the love for the product and he also mentions that he did that etc because PRO users want it. Just watch it and I'm sure you'll not feel the same love tomorrow by the robot Tim Cook.

That made me nostalgic so I just watched the compilation of all of Steve Jobs' "one more thing" announcements:

Interestingly enough, Apple haven't stopped the back to the school offer in the UK, despite having a closing date of yesterday. Maybe they are going to keep it running to prop sales up after they announce new Macs tomorrow? Unlikely but I'm clutching at anything right now.

Come on guys 91 more pages and Timmy said we will get a special edition Skylake MacBook Pro Watch Strap!! Rumor has it, it might even be upgradeable too!

Come on guys 91 more pages and Timmy said we will get a special edition Skylake MacBook Pro Watch Strap!!

But Kaby Lake watch straps are shipping now. They're only available in child size, but still they're shipping, which means Apple is behind again. Can't innovate at all anymore!

 

[BenTrovato]

Just sold my MacBook Pro! Never thought it would come to this but it's been too long without updates. I'll still wait for October to see what Apple releases but if it's skylake with cheap graphics, a funky OLED toolbar and all that for an extra $150 I'll be officially off the Mac bandwagon. Here's to hoping it doesn't come to that

I've been watching this thread off and on since 2014 hoping there would be some new info on the updated 15" MBP only to be disappointed time and time again. I created an account just to contribute to the 1000 page goal and to say I hope the wait is finally over tomorrow.

I thought the same on the March event(((

Are you guys excited? Are we all too cynical?

If you want to feel better about yourselves, head over to the Mac Mini forum and soak yourself in their tears. I actually do that from time to time myself.

I'm starting to get more excited now after seeing that list of patented phrases, including "Apple Touch Bar", but I'm still not expecting any word on Macs at tomorrow's event. "Third time's a charm" probably won't help us (even though I just rescheduled my dentist appointment tomorrow for later so I won't miss the event )--but we will probably witness our third event this year without Macs.

 

[x-evil-x]

MBP or not I'm excited for tomorrow's event, I need to see how Apple explains the lack of a headphone jack.

My guess is them to sell it as better waterproofing as well as more internal space for battery and or features.

I will eat a Rose Gold iPhone with a watch band as an eating utensil if the new RMBP's are announced tomorrow.

91 pages in less than 24 hours won't add themselves you know!

Not that I expect anything else than disappointment

We are gonna need a Skylake Grief Counseling Thread after tomorrow.

Yeah no kidding!!!!!!!

 

[brammahh]

So now we're all putting our hopes on October, but what if rumors tell us in October that it'll be December early 2017?

When was the last time that happened? Oh, I remember, when we all put our hopes on WWDC. Forgot about that.

Iphone 7, 7Plus , 7 Pro?? Apple Watch 2, ****** watch bands, New TB Display, new 13, 15 inch rmbp.

They should not take more than 2 hours. Assume that only new iphones and watches will be announced. How are they gonna talk about only two new products for 1.5+ hours?
Oh wait.

Apple spent 20+ minutes talking about Apple music with a lady dancing in front of the crowd back in WWDC

+ 10 on emojis

 

[ceedge]

I'm not getting burnt again like i did at the March and WWDC events. I'm firmly in the 'meh, i'll watch/listen, i guess' camp. Although to be fair, i got lucky with a new job that provided a mid-2015 15" MBP for me to muck around with about 2 months ago so i may even be set until kaby lake, or whenever the 2nd gen of the redesign appears.

Guess i'm one of the lucky ones like that.

 

[WRONG]

Should we have a drinking game every time the words "revolutionary" and "thinner" are uttered?

We don't "should", we must.
I already started by the way.
Don't worry everyone, I'm just catching up with Apple's design philosophy: I'm making my liver thinner.

 

[tofagerl]

At least they stopped with the chamfered edges crap...

 

[x-evil-x]

they need round edges on macs. no more sharp bends
